The most effective campaigning methods for Ron Paul 2012:
Door to Door Campaigning
Knocking on doors of previous Republican Voters who have a track record of voting in the Primaries is the number one way to ensure Ron Paul wins the Republican Primary. It worked for Rand Paul and will work for Ron Paul if you do your part. Dress business casual, be polite, don't argue over issues, and leave some Ron Paul Literature with the potential voter. A positive interaction and the appearance of an active and organized effort will impress voters.

Advice straight from the good doctor himself:
"Besides contributing financially, there’s literally NOTHING you can do to help my campaign more.
It was our Phone From Home program that helped lead to my historic finish in the Iowa Straw Poll.
That’s why I’m personally asking you to help me achieve VICTORY in key early primary and caucus states by signing up to Phone From Home."
here's how: http://phone.ronpaul2012.com/v/login.php?v=1It's free, easy, and you can do it from home. If you need some motivation, host a Ron Paul Phone from Home Party.

Tabling for Ron Paul in areas that Conservatives gather
Gun Shows, Farmer's Markets, Tea Parties, Protests, etc. Be creative and vocal. Make a couple of phone calls and/or emails to secure a booth at the next gun show or Farmer's Market. These events tend to be frequented by 2nd Amendment Enthusiasts and those who enjoy nutritious food grown in your local community. If you cannot get a booth/table, then you can go to a gun show or Farmer's Market, make friends, and pass out Ron Paul Literature. Talk to the Gun Booth operators and Farmers, chances are that they support the ideas of Ron Paul and may allow you to leave literature at their table/booth.http://www.gunshows-usa.com/

Culture Jamming for Ron Paul
Keep in mind that this is the least effective way to campaign for Ron Paul. This should be something you do as a group for fun. This is a release, something you should schedule as a meetup group after you have put in the "sweat equity" of door to door campaigning, etc. Nonetheless, the Ron Paul Revolution is known for their creative and dedicated supporters.Culture Jamming for Ron Paul:

Keyboard Warriors for Ron Paul
This is another method which I feel is least effective. It can give a false sense of accomplishing something for Ron Paul. It is not my intention to insult bloggers or those who frequent Facebook and post incessantly about Ron Paul or those who vote in every online straw poll. Your efforts are appreciated and the rise of the Alternative Media has kept Ron Paul from becoming completely blacked out by the Mainstream Media. Youtube, Facebook, and Twitter should be utilized for Ron Paul, but keep in mind that there is a finite amount of time before the Republican Primary. Don't spend all your time arguing with a Herman Cain supporter on Facebook. Your extensive knowledge of the Federal Reserve will not make him change his mind, nor will it win more votes for Ron Paul. Host a Ron Paul Viewing Party
Ask around town and secure a location that will allow you to host a Ron Paul Party. Ideal venues are bars, coffee shops, or apartment clubhouses. The venue should be accessible to your target audience and that can vary depending on if you are targeting college students, traditional Republican voters, etc. Negotiate a time, place, and date with the owner of the venue. Prior to advertising your event, make sure adequate parking is available, a sound system, television screens, seating, etc. Contact any local liberty minded musicians and ask them to play some songs to rouse your target audience. Advertise your event via youtube, make it a Facebook Event, a craigslist ad, local newspapers, and post fliers around campus. With permission, decorate your venue with Ron Paul banners, signs, and balloons. Have Ron Paul merch on hand for distribution and have fun!Ideas/Examples
